I'm on my second set. The first was the Maytag Neptune washer & dryer. It had serious issues, poor design. After 4 years, had to have it repaired $400. 3 years later, needed repair again, $700. Loved the FL feature. So I bought another FL, Whirlpool Duet. I prewash all my fabric. DH did road construction. We are talking lots and lots of dirt. No problem. No problem w/odors, mold, etc. I have dyed clothing in mine. I hate when my black jeans are grey, so periodically, I dye them black again. I wash everything in it, even large dog beds. I especially like it for quilts, because it does not agitate. I would buy another Whirlpool Duet.
